The Diamond Storage Array will function under
normal external operating temperatures of 5°C
and 40°C. Temperature sensors provide data to
the software to trip a temperature warning alarm
and will, at excessively high or low temperatures,
disable disk drive activity to protect the drives.
The Diamond reports the temperature via SES,
CLI and the ExpressNAV interface as well as the
state of the temperature warning alarm (N

Power supply monitoring
The Diamond Storage Array monitors the
operation of its power supplies and blower
assemblies every 30 seconds. If the status
changes, the system reports it visually with an
LED and a message in the CLI.
If a power supply or blower fails, the management
system sends a CLI message and turns off the
corresponding power supply LED.
The blower assembly directly adjacent a power
supply must be functioning properly for the power
supply to work properly. If a blower assembly
fails, the power supply will shut down and the
management system will send a CLI message.
The corresponding power supply LED on the
system management card will also turn off.
If a good replacement power supply or blower
assembly is inserted into the array, the
management system will send a CLI message and
the corresponding system management card LED
will go on. It may take up to 30 seconds for the
system to note these changes.

WARNING
System fault LED and error codes
If a serious hardware or software error occurs in
the Diamond Storage Array, the System Fault
LED will display a series of flashes or blink
codes. Error information will be reported via the
Command Line Interface if it is operational.
At power up, the green Diamond Array Ready
(RDY) LED turns on after successful completion
of the POST (Power On Self Test) indicating the
array is available for normal operation.
During operation, the Ready LED will stay lit
even if the amber Fault (FLT) LED lights.
If a serious error occurs in the array, the amber
Fault LED will flash repeatedly in a blink code
